This is the meaning: In the retreat of women whose nature resembles flowers, seeking the most insignificant particle of sensual pleasure born of the fruition of selfish works, akin to the nectar and scent of flowers, consisting of pleasures of the tongue and genitals and so forth; uniting as a couple and absorbing its mind therein; its ear exceedingly seduced by the exceedingly enchanting conversation of women and the like, which resembles the singing of the swarms of six-legged bees; unmindful of the wolves ahead—those days and nights, fractions of time, that steal away one's life—diverting itself in houses; while behind it, unseen, the hunter Death follows closely and pierces it to the core with an arrow—ah, King, you ought to see this self of yours thus pierced in the heart!

54. In the home (and company) of women who are of the nature of flowers, seeking the trifling dose of pleasures of taste and touch which are fruit of Kamya Karma and quite transient like honey and fragrance of flowers; being married to the woman, having given her his mind and heart, his ears completely allured by the conversations of women and others, which are very delightful like the gentle music of bees; having set no value on the parts of time forming days and nights, which, like herds of wolves ahead of him, prey upon his life-time; being beguiled by the enjoyments of domestic life, but pursued unperceived by the hunter, Yama, who pierces him at the back with invisible arrows—the jiva-Atman who is broken-hearted and reduced to this pitiable condition [like a deer struck down by a hunter] thou wouldst, O king, do well to observe.

4.29.54.p2

sa tvaṃ vicakṣya mṛga-ceṣṭitam ātmano 'ntaś $ cittaṃ niyaccha hṛdi karṇa-dhunīṃ ca citte &

Observing thus the deer-like behavior of your own inner self, / restrain the mind within the heart, and [restrain] the river of the ears within the mind;

55. Thyself being so conditioned, do thou carefully observe and note the career of the deer, restrain thy mind in thine own heart and the stream of hearing within thy mind and abandon the home of women, the home of talk about the most unrighteous gatherings; do thou delight the Lord who is the asylum of Jivas gradually withdrawing thyself (from every other object).

Observing thus the deer-like behavior of your own inner self, / restrain the mind within the heart, and [restrain] the river of the ears within the mind;
